Some flaws, but a great product

Yes, I would recommend this product

I've owned and used this keyboard for about a year now, and for the past 4 months it has fulfilled the role of my primary keyboard and mouse.

Pros:- good range- excellent battery life- good key response (they feel pretty much like laptop keys)- MCE compatibility- price (especially if on sale)- large format, more comfortable to use than other MCE keyboards.

Cons:- covering the upper left corner (where the mouse buttons are) decreases range a bit- sometimes the mouse buttons (left and right click only) stop responding (I'd say about once to twice an hour for heavy use). A quick off-on fixes things, if not things return to normal after about 10 seconds.- battery door cover (and batteries) come off quite easily. I have to be careful laying it back down on the table, otherwise I may pick it up again without any batteries in it.- I wouldn't recommend prolonged heavy use of the pointer function on this. My thumbs get really tired after a while.- mouse gestures (such as in Firefox) take some getting used to with the two-handed pointer operation.- two-handed pointer operation: good for some things, not so good for others.
